Augmenting Weak Semantic Cognitive Maps with an “Abstractness” Dimension

<table>A sample from the antonymy-based weak semantic cognitive map constructed by Samsonovich and Ascoli [<a href="/journals/cin/2013/308176/#B11">11</a>]. Grey dots show all 15,783 words from the MS Word English dictionary. Similar results were obtained by WordNet. Words shown in color are examples of hypernym-hyponym pairs: “action-withdrawal” and “object-screw.” Selected examples illustrate that there is no clear separation of hypernyms and hyponyms on the map.</table>
